Title: xbmc and linux mce
Post by: canzi on November 16, 2008, 12:54:41 pm
Hi all
anyone got xbmc working reliably with linuxmce

i can choose network then enter user and password to get to my media
but
when watching a movie it stops after an hour then i have to enter it again
but more importantly i can not add a source that works
a default install of samba on ubuntu works perfectly so it must be something with the linuxmce samba
any help appreciated

cheers

Steve

Our install of samba is standard, with the addition that we automatically manage the shares.

Why are you wanting to use XBMC for this? Just boot a media director. Our software is much more capable.

i love the MD, but i was unaware that i could run it on an xbox?
how does one go about doing this?

if not then im using the xbox cause i have a few of them left over from my last setup and cant afford to replace them with pc's right now

It probably wouldn't take much to modify the cromwell bios to tftp a bootloader so it can netboot.... but getting decent performance out of it as you said will be a task... linux on xbox was kinda slow last time I ran it...
